A new tenant leasing an office in Dallas contacted Architectural Glass Solutions on recommendations on reducing heat and glare in their offices and lobby area, recommended to us by their property manager. The office staff and clients had been complaining about how uncomfortable the temperature was—even though the A/C was running at full capacity, it was affected by the amount of sunlight and heat coming thru the glass. Due to age of the building and glass type (single pane clear), the best selection was Optitune 15 by Avery Dennison.
Optitune 15 has a 78%-83% heat rejection (*depending on glass type) with 99.9% heat rejection. Along with a 15 year manufacturers warranty, it is a perfect and permanent solution to reduce heat and glare in any office situation.
Solar film offers several benefits when applied to glass surfaces, whether in residential & commercial applications:
- Energy Efficiency: Solar films can reduce heat gain by blocking a significant percentage of solar radiation, which helps lower air conditioning costs and improves overall energy efficiency.
- UV Protection: Many solar films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
- Glare Reduction: Solar films help reduce glare from sunlight, making spaces more comfortable for occupants and improving visibility for activities like driving.
- Privacy: Tinted solar films can provide privacy without sacrificing natural light, making them ideal for homes and offices.
Solar film is a versatile solution that enhances the functionality and aesthetics of glass surfaces while promoting energy efficiency and comfort.
